Sixteen doctors get promotions in violations of code of conduct

It is likely to become a controversial one by giving promotions to 16 doctors in violation of code of conduct in existence following the upcoming elections of North Andhra Graduates Assembly.

The code came into existence from February 4 to March 18. During this period, no promotions to government employees, transfers, appointments, inaugurations and laying of foundation stones should be taken up.

The Principal Secretary of Health Poonam Malakondaiah has issued orders on Wednesday to 16 doctors working in Andhra Medical College Associate Professors as Professors.
